SLI question

[ikariiiii]

currently running off this mobo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131381

and am wondering if its possible to SLI two nvidia 9800 gt cards or is the mobo just crossfire and not SLI compatible?

Cons: Would have liked this board to be SLI instead of crossfire. But this isn't THAT big a deal.

Comments indicate a big no to SLI.

thanks, /stupid

I guess the better question would be: which motherboard should I be looking at to replace this one since I already have the two video cards?

Dont all of the new gen boards support both sli/cf?

SLI support isn't guaranteed on lower end Intel boards, but it's mostly a matter of making sure the one you're buying supports it.

AMD boards haven't had official SLI support since the 780a or 750a chipsets. Not sure if it's a licensing thing, or AMD trying to steer people away from buying nVidia, but they've been Crossfire only for a while now.
